Policy on accessible education for students with disabilities

The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) recognizes that people with disabilities continue to face obstacles in their attempts to access educational services in Ontario - this is happening despite a highly regulated and complex education framework designed to address the “special needs” of students. These obstacles are present at all levels of the education system and include:

persistent negative attitudes and stereotypes towards people with disabilities

ineffective dispute resolution processes.

Join us to learn more about protections for students with disabilities under Ontario’s Human Rights Code, and about the role of decision-makers, educators and parents in making sure every student gets the education they need to succeed.
